Senior Security Associate Dan Petro's research back in 2014 found a bug in Google's Chromecast media streaming stick which allowed the device to be hijacked. Google never fixed the issue and, as TechCrunch reported in their article Google Sat on a Chromecast Bug For Years, Now Hackers Could Wreak Havoc, there are hackers exploiting the bug again with potentially more malicious consequences in the future.
